Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, a skincare clinic serving Bay Area men and women at its Foster City clinic, has announced new content on successfully addressing sun damage to skin. The announcement comes as many older residents face the consequences of past sun exposure, which can manifest as age spots, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.
Dr. Miguel Canales, Medical Director of Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, noted, "One benefit to living in California is the lovely sunshine we enjoy. Through the years, the public has learned to manage their sun exposure to protect their skin and health. But older Bay Area residents come from a time when they were encouraged to bake in the sunshine. And the skin damage is done. Lucky for them, we have new laser skin technology to help those past sunbathers repair sun damage from years ago."
The new blog post, available at Noticing the Ghost of Summers Past on Your Skin, explains that sun damage from decades earlier may be appearing on an individual's face. Common creams and lotions cannot completely address this damage. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments penetrate the dermis to break down damaged cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
Several types of lasers are used for this purpose. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Broadband Light (BBL) focus on broken capillaries and brown spots. Non-ablative lasers affect the dermis without removing the epidermis, smoothing skin texture and breaking down hyperpigmentation. Ablative lasers target the top layers of damaged skin to treat wrinkles and leathery textures caused by long-term sun exposure.
The first step to receiving laser skin rejuvenation involves scheduling a consultation with the clinic. Details about the process are available on the laser skin rejuvenation page.
